Parody and Palimpsest: Intertextuality, Language, and the Ludic in
the Novels of Jean-Philippe Toussaint adds to the emerging body of
work on intertextuality through expansion of critical examinations
of the novels of this award-winning author, presenting him as the
ultimate magister ludi. Sarah L. Glasco links Jean-Philippe
Toussaint's novels to cross-disciplinary texts that include not
only Russian, American, and Japanese literatures, but also film and
visual art. Toussaint alludes to the works of numerous French
canonical authors, such as Pascal, Flaubert, Gide, Proust, and
Apollinaire, with a multicultural mix of Faulkner, Beckett,
Nabokov, and Kawabata, for instance, and the works of filmmakers,
painters, and ancient philosophers like Wong Karwai, Mark Rothko,
and Aristotle. Ultimately, intertextuality in Toussaint's novels is
linked to global cultures and new media via his contemporary
literary landscapes. This in-depth study reveals, presents, and
analyzes a multiplicity of intertexts, depicting the inner workings
of their playful relationships to the texts as a whole, how they
are intricately interwoven into Toussaint's narratives, and also
how they relate to one another. Through a process of rereading and
reinterpreting Toussaint's texts, Parody and Palimpsest illuminates
both linguistic and narrative subversions, parodies, and pastiches,
and, subsequently, Toussaint's ludic landscapes emerge. Readers are
then able to unmask other identities his texts can embody in order
to rediscover them through the language, literature, art, products,
and thus culture of others.
